1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: On today's OTP Road to Nashville. The offseason program is underway,

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: as Titans players reported to Saint Thomas Sports Park this morning.

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Area prospects took pre draft visits to see the Titans

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: on Friday, and will introduce you to a pair of

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: interesting locals, and we'll attempt to solve the riddle of

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: the two thousand nineteen draft plaques the running backs. Hey,

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: bail your taxes later. The April fifteenth OTP Road to

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Nashville starts. Now it's ten days until players are drafted

9
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Welcome to the OTP Road to Nashville. My

10
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: name is Mike Keith welcoming back. Amy Wells. Hello, mate,

11
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm good? How was your weekend? Tiger Woods?

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods man, it was a lot of the weekend.

13
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: It was a lot of the weekend. But how exciting

14
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: for him. It's a great story. You love magical stories

15
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: in sport, and whether you're a Tiger Woods fan or not,

16
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: that was a magical story. Yes, I mean, to win

17
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: a Major eleven years after you won your last one,

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: and when you've been counted out by everybody, including it

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: sounds like by himself. Oh yeah, to a certain degree.

20
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: It's it's quite a story of redemption and happiness. Well,

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: and what a legacy. I mean, he won his first

22
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: how many years ago, nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety seven.

23
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: What were you doing in nineteen nineteen ninety seven, I

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: was hosting a sports talk show and it was it

25
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: was really an interesting time to be doing that because

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: at that point, Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning are within

27
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: three months of one another in age. On March the sixth,

28
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: ninety seven, Peyton Manning announced that he was going to

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: return to the University of Tennessee for his senior year,

30
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: a move that nobody thought was possible. He's twenty one

31
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: at that point, or almost twenty one, and a month later,

32
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods wins the Masters by twelve shots. So those

33
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: two guys and Michael Jordan, who was winning his second

34
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: championship with the Bulls in that run, they were really

35
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: the story of the whole year. Because Tiger Woods goes

36
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: on to win two billion dollars on tour. He becomes

37
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: this phenomena that nobody had seen in the world of

38
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: golf since Jack Nicholas. Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan. He

39
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: is at the height of his powers. And then you

40
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: have Peyton Manning who makes this stunning announcement that he's

41
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: going to return for his senior year, and he became

42
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: the focus of college football all the way through to

43
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: not winning the Heisman Trophy. So it was a fascinating year.

44
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: And the star power it makes you think about star power.

45
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you can say to somebody who's ninety years

46
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: old or somebody who's nine years old, who is Tiger Woods,

47
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: and they may not know what he does, but they

48
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: know who he is. Right, Peyton Manning is the same

49
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: way Tom Brady is the same way. You know, there

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: are actors, there are singers, there are people who have

51
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: the magnetism that put them above their area of expertise

52
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: or talent. And it's always been a big thing for

53
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, the NFL had Brady, has had Brady,

54
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: it's had Manning. And I mean when you had those

55
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: two guys together playing against one another, I mean, it

56
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: was guaranteed ratings. The Master's ratings yesterday already enormous, you know,

57
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: from we can already see the overnights. It's it's already

58
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: way up. I mean, it makes a difference when you

59
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: have somebody like that. I just wonder who the next

60
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: guy in the NFL's is that is to be that person.

61
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: I know Tom Brady's still around, right, is it Patrick Mahomes?

62
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: It might be. I think that his style of play

63
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: is so exciting that I think a lot of people.

64
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a name that people know, regardless of

65
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: how closely they follow the Kansas City Chiefs, they know

66
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: his name. They know that he's a spectacular player to watch. Um.

67
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: I think I think Russell Wilson wants to be don't know.

68
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: But he's in Seattle, yeah, and that's a tough I mean,

69
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: and they and they tried to sort of make him.

70
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: He's done national commercials. He has a famous wife, right,

71
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: you know you have that's the momentum then George Clooney

72
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: type thing. But he's in Seattle, right. If he were

73
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: in New York, it would be a different thing. It's

74
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: like I would contend that Odell Beckham June, you're a

75
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: bigger star than Russell Wilson even though he doesn't play

76
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: quarterback because he was in New York, right, I would

77
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: agree with that. I wonder will he stay as big

78
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: a star in Cleveland? No? I don't think so. So

79
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: looking at this draft right ten days from now, is

80
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: it Kyler Murray? Is Kyler Murray that next transformational type star.

81
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: I think that's what whoever drafts him. I think that's

82
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: what they're hoping for sure. I think that that's that's

83
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: the plan. The proof will be in the pudding. I

84
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: want to see him play first. I want to see

85
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: how he fits into a locker room. Maybe. I mean,

86
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: you don't think it's Nick Bosa because generally it's not

87
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: defensive players. Yeah, but I mean you've got to think

88
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: about sometimes there are just these remarkable players. I mean,

89
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: ray Lewis is a huge name in football defensive player, yeah,

90
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: but a lot of things led him to be a

91
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: huge name. Well, a lot of things could happen to

92
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. We don't know. I mean, you hope not something. Yeah.

93
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean ray Lewis was infamous before he became famous, right,

94
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: and then once he was cleared, he went on and

95
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. He had the redemption story coming

96
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: back from that, and I mean, ray Lewis is one

97
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: of the greatest players in the history of the NFL, undoubtedly,

98
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: but not a lot of defensive guys have that sort

99
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: of cachet. It's normally a quarterback. Yeah, it is. I

100
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: mean it's the most recognizable position. You just wonder if

101
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: that's why, If if the Cardinals are sitting there right

102
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: now and they're having the discussion Steve Kime and Cliff

103
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and all of their personnel people, you wonder if

104
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: the Bidwells don't put their finger on the scale and say,

105
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: be nice to have a big star here in the

106
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: Valley of the Sun. Yeah. Yeah, because it's a big deal.

107
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Titans, the fact that Marcus

108
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: mark Riota and Derek Henry are both former Heisman Trophy winners.

109
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: They are huge name players, maybe not quite to that

110
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: national scale, even though that the NFL audience knows them well.

111
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: They're certainly they're certainly big names in football circles. But

112
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, each team hopes to have guys that are

113
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: those sort of big names. You'd love for them to

114
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: get to the Peyton Manning level. And although I have

115
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: been surprised even this offseason, just traveling different places, how

116
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: many times people say Tennessee Titans Marcus Mariota, Sure that

117
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: is I think, yeah, I think those two guys have

118
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: a bigger following than we almost perceive just here in Nashville.

119
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: I think that there are more people who have noticed

120
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: those players in the last couple of years. With some

121
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: of the success that the Titans have had and some

122
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: of the national stages that they've been able to play on,

123
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: I think that some of these Titans players have more

124
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: national recognition than we give them credit for. Fair That's

125
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: what I think. So that's the open to our program. Yeah,

126
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: we are glad to have you with us on the

127
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: Monday edition of the OTP Road to Nashville. If you

128
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: are joining us live on Facebook, Twitter, or on YouTube

129
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: and you would like to provide a question during the

130
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: course of the program, we will try to answer it.

131
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: So just pop one, two us. You have something yet?

132
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I have tons. People want to talk about

133
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: mock drafts and things. Are you feeling mock drafty? You

134
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: want to wait a little bit? Go ahead, Okay, hit me.

135
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: Well it's Monday, I'm ready, I'm ready, taken on. I'm

136
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: going to Jackson today. I'm fired up. Mike's coming in

137
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: hot today. Guys. Here's a question from Facebook that says,

138
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: I see a lot of mock drafts plugging Metcalf to

139
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: us at nineteen, What do you think about that? I

140
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: think it's interesting. I don't I don't know what the

141
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: Titans think of DK Metcalf on paper. You don't say

142
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver at nineteen in terms of the immediate need

143
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: because you went out and got Adam Humphreys, and I

144
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: think you feel pretty good about your wide receiver corps

145
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: at this moment. But if he's that player who, as

146
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis likes to say, who's a generational type player,

147
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: if the Titans perceive him that way, that could happen.

148
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not ruling anything out, because we don't

149
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: get a look at the board. We don't know exactly

150
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: what they think and you and Robinson has put himself

151
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: in the position that he doesn't have to do anything

152
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: at nineteen. Yea, there is no move that that he

153
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: absolutely has to make. You want to do another one?

154
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: Uh No? I think I like that one for now. Okay,

155
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: for now, all right, spread out, let's go, let's go

156
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: to headlines. Headline of the day here is the players

157
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: are back. First day. It's the it's the one of

158
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: two first days of school. The other one is when

159
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: training camp begins. But players returned early this morning to

160
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: begin the offseason program for the Tennessee Titans, Marcus Mariota

161
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: leading the way, ready to get back to work with

162
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: his teammates as everybody gets started in what is a

163
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: conditioning phase to begin with, and then from there the

164
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: teams start to work individually. In other words, the offense

165
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: works with the offense, the defense works with the defense.

166
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: They cannot work against one another, and then they move

167
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: into the OTA period where they can have practices, and

168
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: then then it becomes almost like an NFL team's spring practice.

169
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: The Titans will have the OTA's and then they go

170
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: to the Oh look the mandatory mini camp. Cut me,

171
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: they cut me arriving. Good job. Yes, wasn't as exciting

172
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: as Kevin Byard, let's say, or Drell Casey or Roger

173
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Saffled coming in the building for the first time. But

174
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: everybody back to work and ready to get it. Taywan Taylor,

175
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, all the wide receivers. It's a fun time.

176
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: It's a fun time to get the guys back in

177
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: the building at Saint Thomas Sports Park certainly has a

178
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: lot more energy once the players are back. So they

179
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: are here and ready to go, and we are certainly

180
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: excited to have them. They had a staff meeting, a

181
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: full team meeting at eight am, and everybody sits down

182
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: and the head coach makes his presentation at that point.

183
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It is awesome. It just feels good to

184
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: have people back in the building, to have everyone buzzing around.

185
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: It feels like things are happening again, and it's just

186
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: good to see everybody. I like having them back. The

187
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: boys are back in town. The boys are back in town.

188
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill is here too. Yeah. I met him at

189
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: the Nashville Airport last night. Why are you at the report?

190
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: Going somewhere picking up my wife? Oh nice, Yes, glad

191
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: she came back. That was good. We're never quite sure,

192
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: but she made it back. And Ryan Tannehill was walking

193
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: through and I introduced myself to him. Scared him to death.

194
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, but he should get used to that.

195
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: They're the OTA dates made twentieth, twenty first, twenty third,

196
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: so three in one week, three the next week, the

197
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: week in Memorial Day, the twenty eight, thirtieth, and thirty first,

198
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: and then four days June three through six, So those

199
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: are the ten OTAs and then the mandatory minicamp takes

200
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: place June the eleventh through the thirteenth. So good to

201
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: see the guys back, and certainly we hope they have

202
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: more of a role on our program going forward. Absolutely,

203
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: all right, Greedy Williams is the next headline and I

204
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: want to see what you think of this. According to

205
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: a report, Greedy Williams, the cornerback out of LSU, who

206
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: is one of twenty three players to accept an invitation

207
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: to Nashville to be here for the draft, thought to

208
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: be a first round pick. Yeah, has not made one

209
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: pre draft visit to a team. Well, that is very odd,

210
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: not one. What do you just hearing that? You said,

211
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: that's very odd? But what do you make of that?

212
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Aby ells? Well, typically the thought is that predraft visits

213
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: equate to interest from teams. So my first thought is,

214
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: how can no one be interested in this guy? Every

215
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: team has thirty pre draft visits and they have a

216
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: local day, right, so he's not even going to a

217
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: local day. He's not going to anything. I don't know.

218
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Saints had him to their

219
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: local day. What I read was that he does not

220
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: have a pre draft visit, which I found I can't

221
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: remember a guy being projected as a first drift pick.

222
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: May mean they have all their questions answered, And that's

223
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I thought, because you also have

224
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: to think about all the opportunities that these teams have

225
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: had to talk to this kid. Well, remember this too.

226
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: Last year the Titans did not bring in Rashaun Evans

227
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: for a pre draft visit. Really, Nope, they did bring

228
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: in Harold Landry. Yes, I remember that they spend a

229
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of time at Alabama, so in some cases they

230
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: don't want to tip their hand with prospects, right, And

231
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: I think that that's part of it too. I mean,

232
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: there's because obviously a lot of these visits end up

233
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: getting reported, so there's a little bit of wanting to

234
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: hide your hand. I get all of that. I don't

235
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: think that this is indicative of him falling out of

236
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: the first round. I think maybe he's a good kid.

237
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: They saw him work out, they saw what he's capable of,

238
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: checked a couple of boxes, had a conversation with him

239
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: at the combine or somewhere else throughout the pre draft process.

240
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: Feel good about it. That one's ago, let's move on.

241
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: So I don't think that again, it means that he's

242
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: not going to be drafted in the first round. But

243
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: I think it's weird, Okay, Jets. New York Jets have

244
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: the third pick overall, rumors everywhere that they are looking

245
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: to get out at number three, and what's fueled that

246
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: is some of the people that they have had in

247
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: for pre draft visits, including Noah fant To tight end

248
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: from Iowa, who does not figure. He figures to be

249
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: a first round pick, but he does not figure to

250
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: be the third pick in the draft. Right. I don't

251
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: think there's any doubt that logic says the New York

252
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: Jets are looking to get out at number three, right,

253
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: And the logic is they don't have a second round pick.

254
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: Indianapolis has their second round pick, so the logic is

255
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: they'd like to get that pick back, maybe gather something

256
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: for the future. Who knows, because the Jets certainly have

257
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: some holes. Right, But let's play a little game. Okay,

258
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: like games. Let's say the Arizona Cardinals do not select

259
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, the Oklahoma quarterback, at number one. Let's say

260
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: they take Nick Bosa. All right, Let's say then at

261
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: number two, San Francisco selects Quinnin Williams. So then the

262
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: Jets are on the clock at number three. They don't

263
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: need a quarterback. They have Sam Darnold. Yeah, So then

264
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: what happens how much of a how much of a

265
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: melee is created from teams trying to get that pick

266
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: in order to select theoretically Kyler Murray. Now we're in

267
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: the lying season right now. There are more lies going

268
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: on right now than at any other time of the

269
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: year in the NFL. If you if you believe what

270
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: you're reading, Nobody likes the Haskins kid from Ohio State.

271
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: Everybody likes the Jones kid from who get quarterback? I mean,

272
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: it's all kind of what Mike Detillier says that's always

273
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: true about drafts. That has always held true in the

274
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: nearly thirty years that I've known him, is that quarterbacks

275
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: go up and big guys go up. Big people always

276
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: get taken higher. You don't think about the centers because

277
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 1: they're not the sexy picks in the mock draft or

278
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: the guards. But teams need him, so they're gonna pick them.

279
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: Defensive tackles, quarterbacks they go up. Could the Jets really who?

280
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: Who could be the Jets trading partner. I mean, golly,

281
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: if they're sitting at number three, Yes, want to get out.

282
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: They want to get out, and they have. I mean,

283
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: they've got all the power in the world. They do.

284
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: They're superheroes at that point. Yes. I mean there are

285
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: a ton of teams that have Does Oakland want him?

286
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: Lots of it? Bats who was in my brain? Glenn

287
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: has four, twenty four and twenty seven. They have three

288
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: first round picks. Does Denver want him? Yeah, because it'd

289
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: be pretty interesting to have Kyler Murray and Patrick Mahomes

290
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: in the same division. Jeez, Louise, what would you pay

291
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: to see those games? Sixty two to fifty five? It'd

292
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: be like arena football. So you've got you've got Denver,

293
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: who's at ten. You've got Cincinnati who's at eleven. Yeah,

294
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: sell a lot of tickets in Cincinnati. I think that

295
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: if you're Oakland, your eyes go WHOA. Well, here's the

296
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 1: scenario Peter came through it out this morning, is that

297
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: Oakland makes a deal. I mean, this is just a

298
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: hypothetical that Oakland makes a deal to go up and

299
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: get Kyler Murray, even maybe to Arizona. That they go

300
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: up and get a deal and so then they flip flop,

301
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: say one in four or three and four according with

302
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: whom they make the trade, and then deal like another

303
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: one of those first round picks to get him. And

304
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: then they turn around and trade Derek Carr to the

305
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: Giants or Washington for a twenty twenty first round pick. Interesting,

306
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: so they would end up with two first round picks

307
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: this year and two first rounds two next year? That

308
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: do you remember that movie with Kevin Costner Draft Day?

309
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: These are the type of scenarios we're starting to get into.

310
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: I know this is but this is why people love it.

311
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: I know. And I think that this year there are

312
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: so many interesting little storylines that are running through this draft.

313
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: I think that Thursday night is just going to be banana. Yeah,

314
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: I think it's giving nuts. Okay, social media question, you've

315
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: got anything you like? I do, go and thanks for

316
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: joining us live on the OTP Road to National. Thank

317
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: you for this. You'd like to hear from you? Love

318
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: what this is doing. I mean, it's been amazing lately,

319
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: So go ahead, fun Okay. Here is one from social

320
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: media that says, are we starting to think about drafting

321
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: a tight end? In looking for Delaney Walker's successor. No,

322
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that's why you would draft a tight

323
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: end because we still have Johnny Smith. Well, you have

324
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: Johnny Smith and you have Delady Walker. I think if

325
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: you're drafting a tight end, you're thinking this is a

326
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: player who can help you now and who can be

327
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 1: part of what you're doing at this moment. So I

328
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: don't think you think about it as we need to

329
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: pick his replacement, like you were picking Taylor Lawan to

330
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: take Michael Ruse's spot. So the end, I don't think

331
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: that's why you do it. You may take a tight end,

332
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: you know you. I mean, Hockinson is thought to be

333
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: one of the really special guys fant irv. Smith Junior.

334
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: But there are also a bunch of Day three tight ends, right.

335
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: There was one here for Local Day the other day

336
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: that I think is His name is Dawson Knox from

337
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: Old miss and I think he is a great prospect.

338
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, we'll talk about that more in a moment,

339
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: But I don't do you have one more? I have

340
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: one more, and it's of the tight end kind of genre.

341
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: So this says, since Noah Fense keeps being mocked to

342
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: the Titans, could they use him more? Of a wide

343
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: receiver tight end high brand, since we don't really need

344
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: any true tight end. Yes, if you say this guy's

345
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: a weapon, this guy, I mean, I think if the

346
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: Titans were to take a skill player at nineteen, we've

347
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: already had a question about wide receiver. Now we're having

348
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: questions about tight end. I don't think they take it

349
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: for any other reason than they just say, this dude

350
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: is such a weapon, we can't pass him up. Yep,

351
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: that's the reason you do it. I agree with that.

352
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: And also, yes, I am wearing glasses today. I was

353
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: outside all weekend my allergies, so someone asked, yes, glasses today,

354
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: good eyes. Thanks for sharing that someone asked. I didn't

355
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: just offer that up. By the way, I'm excited to

356
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: be going to Jackson tonight to a season ticket member event.

357
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: That's Hub City Brewing in Jackson, Titan season ticket members

358
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: in Jackson, Tennessee. I'm looking forward to see them. We've

359
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,719

363
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: so they have allowed us to sort of piggyback on

364
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: their normal meeting and invite season ticket members. Now what

365
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,919

403
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: the draft itself, So did you see the NFL patron

404
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: map that came out? Yes, I have. Yeah, the NFL

405
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: released it. People went crazy over this, which is awesome.

406
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: And this has got everything on it, all the things

407
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: around the stadium, all the things downtown where everything is

408
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: going to be, where you can buy food, where you

409
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: can buy merchandise, all of this. It's fantastic. I mean,

410
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: it's I read somewhere that it's the biggest footprint that

411
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: the NFL has ever had at an event. I agree,

412
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: just with the sheer amount of area that they are

413
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: going to be taking up. But again, Mike, we were

414
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: down there last week a couple of weeks ago, and yeah,

415
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: and we walked the whole kind of area and it

416
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: looks like a tremendous amount of space and it is,

417
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: but it's all super convenience. Well, our round trip, so

418
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: we parked where it says if you could see on

419
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: the right side, where it says music stage, that's where

420
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: we parked. Yep. And our round trip walking everywhere, and

421
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: we were down there for four hours. Yeah, not much

422
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: more than a mile no, it was like according to

423
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: my chap, I mean, okay, a little less than two miles,

424
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: but you went further than I did, actually, because I

425
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: parked further than Yeah, I get my steps in. Yep.

426
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: Well it's fantastic. So if you haven't seen this, it

427
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: is a great map. Where should we tell people to

428
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: go for that? Is it? Is it Titans online dot

429
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: com right now? It is. It's tweeted out a bunch

430
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: of places too. I'll tweet it out later today for

431
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: people who don't want to click around, but yeah, it will.

432
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: It will definitely be. I've seen it everywhere Titans online

433
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: dot com. I'm told. Okay, Local Day was Friday, Yeah,

434
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: it was. You had a chance to meet I had

435
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: a chance to meet players. Tell me who jumped out

436
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: to you and who are we going to hear from

437
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: that you visited with? You know who I was able

438
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: to talk to that I was really impressed by was

439
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: Ugo Amati from Oregon Overton High School here in Overton

440
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: High School here in Nashville. And he was such a

441
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: nice kid and he was just so happy to be here.

442
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: But the thing that we talked about the most was

443
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: his versatility. Yeah, really good looking defense. It back. Let's

444
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: hear from him. Ugo Amati as a corner out of Oregon.

445
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: But saying that you're a corner is a little limiting, right.

446
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: You did so many different things on Organ's defense. You

447
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: were kind of a Swiss army knife. Where did that

448
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: versatility come from? It just came from within, you know,

449
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: just having confidence, just telling myself like, I know I

450
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: can do a lot more than what I'm displaying, and

451
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: you know it's just one day in practice. I was like,

452
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: you know, I know I can do this, went up

453
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: to the coaches this cornell like, hey, let me try

454
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: this position now, and so you know, I end up

455
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: working out for me. You also did some things on

456
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: special teams. You were a punt returner. Is that something

457
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: that you want to continue doing at the next level. Yeah.

458
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I had a knack for when I

459
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: was little, and you know I did it in high school.

460
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: You know I didn't in college, and I feel like

461
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: I can do it at the next level too. What

462
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: is it about that position that appeals to you so much?

463
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: I like to do hard things like playing defense. Playing

464
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: nickel is a hard position to really play. That's why

465
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: they don't see too many nickels. Playing that position and

466
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: catching a punt return is way harder than catching the

467
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: kickoff return because you have people running at you and

468
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: it's a quicker ball that's coming in and kick kick

469
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: return grow up like this that punt turn, it's coming,

470
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: but it's dropping right down. You gotta be able to

471
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: catch that. Make a guy miss, no, make a right decision,

472
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's all it's It's just much quicker. So

473
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: I feel like just being having that attention and having

474
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: that type of feeling to do those things is like

475
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: kind of ELPs my game. Is there someone in the

476
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: NFL now that you emu later try and steal some

477
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: things from their game? Oh definitely, not even when he

478
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: was in the league, but when he's in college, Tye Matthew.

479
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: You know, he was one of the top DECA players

480
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: of all time. You know, like that's one player I

481
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: can watch college football. I know he's gonna make a

482
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: play every game, you know, and I try to emlent

483
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: this game. That's like I said, he was versato. He

484
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: did every position, he did special teams, and I tried

485
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: to mimic everything he did. What's the most important thing

486
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: for teams to know about you. My leadership, you know,

487
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: that can go a long way, and I can get

488
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: along with anybody, you know, I know, I know what

489
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: it takes to win, humble and I just want to

490
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: be great. You were a recipient of the Lombardi Trophy,

491
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: and that's a trophy for any player, regardless of position.

492
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: And I want to read what the standard is for that.

493
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: It's based on your performance and leadership, honed by character

494
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: and resiliency. That's a huge award. What does it mean

495
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: to you that you were given an award like that?

496
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: It means a lot, you know, just from my beginning,

497
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: just youngest of five, you know, I was always overlooked.

498
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: I didn't have the prototypical side, you know for a

499
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: football player in general. But I just knew I had

500
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot of hard and I knew what it takes,

501
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, just to become that guy you know that

502
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: everybody wants to look up to, you know, everybody wants

503
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: to be like I heard a rumor that you grew

504
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: up being a Titans fan. Yeah, what would it mean

505
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,239
Speaker 1: to you to be from this area, to be a

506
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: Titans fan and be drafted in downtown Nashville in front

507
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: of Nissan stadium. It would mean a lot, trust me,

508
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: Because I went to Oregon and that's a six hour flight.

509
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: People from Tennessee don't even know where Oregon is, so

510
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: it would mean a lot. I have nieces, I have cousins,

511
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: siblings that will be able to drive twenty minutes just

512
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: to the stadium, you know, and come watch me play.

513
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: And they already have Titans gary just because they're in

514
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: the city, so I don't have to I don't have

515
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: to go to no Titans shop or nothing. They already

516
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: have it. They're already good and all they need just

517
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Titans tickets and that would be good. But it'll be

518
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: It'll mean a lot to me, trust me. Like everything

519
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: I've done has been in the city, you know. And

520
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: even if I get drafted here, I would love to

521
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: be in the community even more than what I am

522
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: right now. He was so excited just to be here.

523
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: But Mike, you had a chance to meet people too

524
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: who stood out to you from local visit day. Another

525
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: Nashville guy, another defensive back, and another guy who is

526
00:30:54,800 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: a huge Titans fan, Vanderbilt's Juan Williams. Mock drafts are

527
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: all over the road on Juan Williams the now former

528
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt cornerback. Do you read the mock drafts? You hear

529
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: about it from family and friends, But I mean, at

530
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you don't know where the

531
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: chips will fall on drive day, so I don't pay

532
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: attention to it. Do you think the mocks are all

533
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: over the road on you? Because at six four two ten,

534
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: you're the really the only corner of your kind at

535
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: the top end of this draft, and maybe everybody doesn't

536
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: quite know what to make of you. Yeah, I definitely

537
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: see that. You know, I've heard, you know, multiple first

538
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: round mocks, second round, third round, in fourth round. I mean,

539
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: it's just at the end of the day. Once drive

540
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: day hits, you'll see you'll see where the coaching staff

541
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: feels about you. With your size, You've got those long arms.

542
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: You like to get your hands on people, no question

543
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: about it, and play really physical. Do you think it's

544
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a transition in the league that you can't

545
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: be too grabby? Yeah, no doubt. And that's something that

546
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: I've trained and worked on this offseason, just making sure,

547
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, not getting too grabby, you know, keeping my

548
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 1: hands on you know, in that five yard radius, especially

549
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: how they're cracking down on passing inferences. Now. You know,

550
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: you definitely want to make sure your footwork is tight,

551
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: just so you don't have to use your hands. You know,

552
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: at the at the top of the route, you will

553
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: not be twenty two until December sixth, so your best

554
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: football is yet to come, right, no doubt. Man. I'm

555
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: definitely excited about this season. I definitely put in a

556
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: lot of work this offseason and right now I'm just

557
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: ready for you know, the draft to come to hear

558
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: my name called and get ready to work. Nashville guy,

559
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Titans fan, do you have a favorite Titans player? My

560
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: favorite Titans player of all tim I definitely it'll be

561
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: a toss up all time would be you know, Steve

562
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: McNair would be number one, Eddie George would be number two.

563
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: Those other two jobs I looked up to growing up.

564
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: I also loved Chris Johnson, who loved the way he

565
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: played and when he had that two thousand yards season.

566
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: I was in around seventh eighth grade. Sometime around then

567
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: I was I was in middle school. I know that

568
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: when I'll see him make a move or something like that,

569
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: I'll always you know, go go outside, you know, work

570
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: on the same move he just did against somebody, and

571
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: that's something that you know, looking back on, was definitely

572
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: I feel like it helped me, you know, just moving,

573
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: getting my feet right. But those three guys our name

574
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: that I definitely look up two sol to this day.

575
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: As the pre draft process winds down, can you describe

576
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: the emotion as you're about to be drafted in your hometown.

577
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: It's definitely a blessing for me, you know, it's definitely

578
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: it's definitely a blessing to hear my name called, you know,

579
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: in Nashville. You know, I was born and raised in Nashville.

580
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: I went to school in Nashville, and everything just happens

581
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: in Nashville. So I mean, that's really that's really a

582
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: cool experience, and not a lot of people get to

583
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: live that out. That is a guy that if you

584
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: are Vanderbilt University, if you're Vanderbilt football, if you're a

585
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt fan, you are so proud of that individual. Oh absolutely,

586
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: what a tremendous young man. Now he can really play,

587
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah I can, and I think he's gonna have a

588
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: long career in this league. But from a character standpoint,

589
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: no questions about that. Yeah, absolutely, and we had the

590
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: chance to be at Vanderbilt Pro Day, so we saw

591
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: him work out there and it was clear that people

592
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: were very impressed by what they were seeing. He confirmed

593
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: a lot of kind of the hype around him, so

594
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: excited to see where his career ends up going. You

595
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: want to sneak a social question in here, I've got

596
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: tons of them. Here's one question from Facebook that says,

597
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: what was the atmosphere like in the building this morning?

598
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: It's just, I mean, there's just more energy. I think

599
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: I said it earlier. I don't know another way to

600
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: put it to get across the fact that I mean,

601
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: this has been for three months just a workplace. We've

602
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: been coming to work and we get here and everybody

603
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: goes the coffee machine and you do all the it's

604
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: an office. It's an office, you know. But now it's

605
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: a football office again, right, And now the guys are

606
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: here and the coaches are moving around, and I mean

607
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: the pace just quickens. For nine weeks, it's just fantastic. Right.

608
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: It feels like it's the first kind of taste you

609
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: get a football being back. It feels like it does

610
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: in the fall a little bit. Well, I gonna get

611
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: the schedule right, and we I mean, we don't know

612
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: exactly when, but we're going to get the schedule very quickly.

613
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: And then obviously too, the draft is ten days away

614
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: and it's here, and as practices heat up, when the

615
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: rookies come in and things really start to happen, I mean,

616
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: April becomes May and you get into June and I

617
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: mean it rolls. Yeah, it's it's just an exciting time

618
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: and you get a little taste of what's to come

619
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: in what is it, March, April, in April, So there

620
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: you go. Would you like another one? Do you guys

621
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: have dates of the open practices for fans yet? No,

622
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: that will be once the training camp schedules announced, correct, yep,

623
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: So that is still to come. That is still to come,

624
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: including and as Mike Vrabel said on the OTP road

625
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: to Nashville on Friday, the practices with the Patriots are happening.

626
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: The first thing we heard is it sounded good, But

627
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: he said, oh yeah, he said it's happening now. So

628
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: there'll be dates about that and all of that information

629
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: will come out later. Yep. Let's move to running backs

630
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: and talk running backs. The Titans running back situation is

631
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: pretty dog gone good because of one mister Derrick Henry,

632
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: who is at the top of the charts, and what

633
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: he did the last five games of the season where

634
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: he was unstoppable. I mean even in the last game

635
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: of the year against Indianapolis, the Titans had to go

636
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: away from throwing the ball because they trailed for the

637
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: majority of that game, and yet he almost gained a

638
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: hundred yards in that game. Dion Lewis was the lead

639
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: back for the majority of the middle part of the season.

640
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: David Flewellen was hurt in the Patriots game. Dawkins and

641
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: McNichols are guys who will certainly battle to make the roster,

642
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: but I mean it starts with Derrick Henry. I mean,

643
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: let's face it, the coach making clear on the OTP Friday,

644
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 1: they're feeding this beast. They want to see it. They

645
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: need to have it right, right right, And I think

646
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: I think that as a Titans fan, being able to

647
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: go into the twenty nineteen season, into training camp with

648
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: depth like this at the running back position, gosh, that's

649
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: got to make you feel good. Well. The other part

650
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: of it, too, is with Derek Henry. If he takes

651
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: over the role of the lead back full time, that

652
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: he is clearly the number one guy like he was

653
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: in December. I think that makes Dion Lewis a lot

654
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: better because at five foot eight, one hundred ninety five

655
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: pounds or whatever Dion is, he's not really built to

656
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: carry it fifteen to twenty times a game. He and

657
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: I think the wear and tear of that took its

658
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: toll on him a little bit as the year went on.

659
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: I think if you're able to slip him in on

660
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: third downs, if you're able to use him as a

661
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: change up, he will be more effective than he was

662
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: a year ago. Yes, does that make any sense? Absolutely

663
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: it does. I mean he has a very unique skill

664
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: set that's very different from Derrick Henry, as he should.

665
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: He is a very different body type. He's a very

666
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: different player. But seeing what Derrick Henry was able to

667
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: accomplish in December of twenty eighteen was incredible, and he

668
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: had he himself said that he wasn't playing like himself

669
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: early in the year. Him and Eddie George kind of

670
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: had that come to Jesus moment, remember where he went

671
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: down went through film with Eddie and kind of talked

672
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: about how he was playing and what he needed to

673
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: do differently, and he focused on making those changes. If

674
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: he has gone through the offseason training the way that

675
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: we know Derrick Henry trains, and did you see him

676
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: this morning? Uh No, I haven't seen him yet. Goodness big. Yeah.

677
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean you just when you see him, just without

678
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: pay it's just walking towards you, you're like, wow, yeah.

679
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's like the Eddie George response that you

680
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: have for people who have ever seen him in public.

681
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: You know exactly what I'm talking about. You see Eddie George,

682
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: You're just like wow. Ye. Derrick Henry physically is exactly

683
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: the same thing, right, And so if he is able

684
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: to use the success he had in the late part

685
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: of the year, continue his training and continue to make

686
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: himself stronger and more durable, holy smokes, we're in for

687
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: a good twenty nineteen with Derrick Henry. There's no doubt

688
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: about it. Let's take a look at the running backs

689
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: in this draft, and I mean we said it at

690
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: the top of the show. It is a huge question

691
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: in terms of what all is going to be there,

692
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: because there's just nobody that's going to be taken in

693
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: the top five of this draft. Like it was a

694
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: year ago. No running back figures to go in the

695
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: top ten of this year's class, or maybe even the

696
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: top twenty, or maybe even the first round. There is

697
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: no sa Quon Barkley, but you can get the man

698
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: who waited for his time at Penn State behind it,

699
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: say Quon Barkley. Miles Sanders is an impressive player in

700
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: his own right. It was definitely difficult fresh Dann. I'd

701
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: say that's probably the biggest adversity I face of coming

702
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: out of high school, fast star recruit, highly recruited high

703
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: school running back, expecting to be like a one two

704
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: punch type of situation when I got there with Saquon,

705
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: But obviously wasn't that took it as is just actually

706
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: just learning from sa Quon, really just picking a little

707
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: stuff from his brain, how he thinks, how he learns,

708
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: how he prepares for games, how he watches films and

709
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and just related to my game really

710
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: and helped me be a better player on and off

711
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: the field. How about a running back with a great

712
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: nickname and the ability to make people miss, which is

713
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: more important. That would be Devin Motor Singletary, a Florida Atlantic.

714
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: His ability to jump cut stop on a down vision

715
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: see the field. He's intriguing to me. He's a guy

716
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: that's like, I'm starting to get a look at her

717
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: or I kind of like this guy. And I think

718
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: overall people are gonna downgrade the running back class, but

719
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna find some talent in there. You're

720
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: just not gonna have to draft is high. I don't

721
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: think it'll be a year with a foreign at of McCaffrey.

722
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: We're not having that type of Todd Gurley, but we're

723
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: getting good backs that are going to come in and play. Jacobs,

724
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: I think is separated as the number one guy. Charles

725
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: is talking about Alabama's Josh Jacobs. Jacobs is one of

726
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: the least heralded skill players that Nick Saban has ever

727
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: recruited to Alabama, and his measurables are hardly earth shattering.

728
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: But this dude can't play. Really. It wasn't until the

729
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: end of the year when Alabama needed it in big

730
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 1: games that they started switching over and Jacobs became the guy,

731
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: and he stepped up in a big way. What I

732
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: like about him is obviously his running style, his ability

733
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: to break tackles, and quickness, But then he catches the

734
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: ball well. He has experience in the slot and moving

735
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 1: them around. He is a nasty bucker. He will hang

736
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: in there so he'll be ready as a rookie to

737
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: help in that regard, which it can be a big

738
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: concern for teams when you have a rookie running back coming.

739
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: Are they going to protect our quarterback when we can

740
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: need them too? And because Jacobs played at Alabama, he's

741
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: not all used up. Because we know the Crimson tide

742
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: will rotate at least three backs per year, and one

743
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: of those guys is in the two thousand nineteen draft.

744
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Damien Harris. Physical, rugged, blue collar running back,

745
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: a guy that really does his work in between the tackles.

746
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: Doesn't necessarily have the juice to take in the distance,

747
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: but he is a powerful, blue collar back that some

748
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: things would be excited about. If you want productive, let

749
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: me send you another SEC back, Trey ViOn Williams from

750
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: Texas A at AM. Fun player to watch, you know,

751
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: ultra productive and tough. You know, not the biggest guy

752
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: in the world. Great kid. When you talk to everybody

753
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: at Texas A and M, they said, Marcus Allen came

754
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: and spoke to the team and challenged him individually. He said,

755
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,479
Speaker 1: you need every in practice you finished to the endzone.

756
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: I don't care where you are, you finished to the

757
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: end zone. The kid took at the heart, finishing the

758
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: end zone every run from then on throughout the rest

759
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: of the season led the SEC in rushing. Here are

760
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: a few more running back names to know. The stout

761
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: David Montgomery from Iowa State will probably be a huge

762
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: sleeper for some team. You gotta like Memphis Tiger Darryl

763
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: Henderson the All American average nearly nine yards per carry.

764
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: Benny Snell, junior at Kentucky, the wildcats all time leading rusher,

765
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: is productive, productive, productive. Another Oklahoma running back, Yes, sir.

766
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: This year it's Rodney Anderson. Oklahoma State produced Justice Hill,

767
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: Ohio States Mike Weber might be a real find for

768
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: an NFL team. More names LJ. Scott of Michigan State,

769
00:43:53,880 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: Washington's Miles Gaskin, Wes Hills from Slippery Rock, the champion

770
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: son I'm talking about, Georgia Bulldog Elijah Holyfield, Appalachian State standout,

771
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Moore, Dexter Williams from Notre Dame, Jordan Scarlett from Florida,

772
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: North Dakota State's productive Bruce Anderson. And then there's Darwin Thompson.

773
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: Darwin Thompson of Utah State is a former JUCO All

774
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: American who's turning pro after just one season with the Aggies.

775
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: Thompson had over one thousand yards rushing in twenty eighteen,

776
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: but more impressively, he averaged more than fifteen yards per catch.

777
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: And one more name, Bryce Love Stanford, remember the guy

778
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: who some believed should have won the twenty seventeen Heisman

779
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: Trophy after battling an ankle injury through last season. He

780
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: tore his right acl in the last regular season game. Now,

781
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: if some team ends up with twenty seventeen Bryce Love,

782
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: he could be a Day three steal. Did you think

783
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: that package was never going to end? No, I mean

784
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: not in a bad way. I enjoyed it. Well, I

785
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: enjoyed it too, But I think I think the point

786
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: is there are tons of backs. There are tons of backs,

787
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: and we know that probably in the top five, top

788
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: ten not going to be a running back. Right, But

789
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: in the first round there were so many good names. Right,

790
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: just said, does somebody go in the first round? I

791
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: don't think so. Really, I don't think so, and here's why.

792
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: If you look at teams that it makes sense to

793
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: take a running back, I think you start at twenty

794
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: three with the Houston Texans. Yeah, okay, Now I think

795
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: they have other needs. They need offensive line and they

796
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: need multiple cornerbacks, so I don't think they're going running

797
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: back at twenty three. You've got Oakland at twenty four

798
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: and twenty seven, but remember John Gruden loves to have

799
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: a stable of running backs. They just signed Isaiah Crowell,

800
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 1: they just resigned Jalen Rashad. We'll see. Philadelphia twenty five

801
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: makes tons of sense, but there's gonna be somebody at

802
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: twenty five who's gonna fall to them, maybe on defense

803
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: in terms of a pass rusher or a defensive lineman

804
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: that they didn't think would get there. And then at

805
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 1: twenty six Indianapolis they need a running back. It would

806
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense to sign a running back,

807
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: but their theory is about best player possible, building box

808
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: things of that sort. Running Backs are almost a luxury,

809
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: So I think it's possible that Josh Jacobs goes at

810
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: thirty four to Indianapolis, that he is still available at

811
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: the start of day two, and that people scrap, not

812
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: because he's not a great player, but just because the

813
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: value of the position has changed so much, and they're

814
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: going to be opportunities to grab players in the twenties

815
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: that you didn't think were possible. He is, Jacobs is

816
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: a player that New England would grab at thirty two

817
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: if they hadn't taken Sony Michelle last year. Right, And

818
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the Rams are doing it at thirty

819
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: one either with Todd Gurley on their roster. Yeah, that

820
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: would make sense. Well, let's bring this on home. Okay.

821
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 1: Do you think that at any point the Tennessee Titans

822
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: select a running back in any round? Makes most sense

823
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: along those theories that it would be day three, okay,

824
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: and particularly somebody who could really catch the ball, who

825
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: gives them that change up in a different way, who

826
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: has kick returnability, possibly you know, somebody who gives him

827
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: something different that they don't already have. Day three, I

828
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: think the running backs will be plentiful on Day three,

829
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: or even you'll be able. There's a real chance you'll

830
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: be able to get one of the guys we saw

831
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: in that package as a non drafted player. Really well,

832
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: just because there there's so many of them, and people

833
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: forget about the undrafted free agents, but that is also

834
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: a big part well, and the undrafted free agent thing too.

835
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, historically running backs have been phenomenal pickups as

836
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents. They're just it hurts running backs that

837
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 1: there are so many of them, right, and that I mean,

838
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: it's a supplied demand thing. It's not guys can't play.

839
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean Josh Jacobs is one of my favorite players

840
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: in this draft. Yeah, I love him. I loved watching

841
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: him at Alabama. I mean, he's a football player. You

842
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: don't have to take him off the field at any point.

843
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 1: He's so physical. And yet the issue is that they're

844
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: if you have a chance to grab a defensive lineman

845
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: or a pass rusher, do you say I'm gonna do

846
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 1: that because they're less of them in the drift raft? Yeah,

847
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: just a thought. It is a thought. But then, keeping

848
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: with the Titans theme, so how many did the Tennessee

849
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: Titans carry? How many running backs can you have on it?

850
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: They could carry four because David Flewellen is a very

851
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: good special teams player. I think that position directly equates

852
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: with tight end because you're thinking about how many are

853
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: you going to keep active on game day, and you

854
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: could you could keep four. Three is the more likely number,

855
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: but because of Fluellen's special team's ability, you could you

856
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: could keep four on the roster. Gosh, we're getting closer

857
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: and closer to the roster mask time, right, that's the

858
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,959
Speaker 1: that's the good stuff, all right. So we have time

859
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: for a couple more socials if you have you have

860
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: anything you like? Oh, sure, I do. Um. Here's a

861
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: question that I had to outsource the answer for, but

862
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: I have it. After looking at that draft footprint that

863
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: we put up, someone asked, will we be able to

864
00:49:55,360 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: drink on the streets at the draft? Do you have

865
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: a name with this or is this an amy? Well

866
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: this is not. I won't be drinking, I'll be working,

867
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 1: but I do have a name looks like Ted. Hey, Ted,

868
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: good question. Everyone wants to know. And I text Jim Wyatt,

869
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: who caught me the answer. The answer is yes you

870
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: can within that draft footprint. You want to have a

871
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: beer and watch the draft go right ahead. You can't

872
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: take it outside of there, obviously, but yes, there will

873
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: be vendors all around. Yeah, it's like you're at a

874
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: ball name or it's like you're at a festival or something. Yes,

875
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: you can have a drink and enjoy it must be

876
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: twenty one. Well, yeah, that's just I'm just telling you

877
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: what they told me, you know, just trying to help.

878
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: Oh Um also got a question. If the Titans will

879
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: go interior offensive line, who would be the best option.

880
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: Do you like Bradberry or Ford or maybe Williams? Any

881
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 1: one sound good to you? Mike? I like Jenkins from

882
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. I'm a big man of his. Yeah, he's

883
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: got power. There're several guys that, really I think they

884
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: could if they're gonna go offensive line, I think they

885
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: could take one of those tackles who projects to be

886
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: a guard in the NFL. And there's several guys like that. Again, though,

887
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: I think I think those guys are plentiful, and you

888
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: may be able to find one early in day three

889
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 1: who would have a potential to compete for a starting job.

890
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to go round one for that,

891
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: But is there somebody that you just can't pass up

892
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: that you just say, you know what, this guy is

893
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: so good, we're going to take you. I think the

894
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: later rounds are going to be very exciting to watch

895
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: because that's where you can get a lot of them.

896
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: We've told the story too about what John Robinson has

897
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: done in the fifth round through his career as the

898
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: Titans general manager, right that he could do it again,

899
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely he could. Anything is possi Well, Mike Key, anything

900
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: is possible, including drinking on the street. Well, there you go.

901
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: Just trying to make some dreams like every day during

902
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: the draft, every day. Yeah, don't do not recommend that. Hey,

903
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: quick public service announcement. Mike Vrabel, the tensee Titans head coach,

904
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: is going to be live speaking to the media today

905
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 1: at twelve fifteen, so on all of these same channels.

906
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 1: Check them out unless you're listening to the podcast, unless

907
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: you're listening to the podcast at that time, in which

908
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:33,479
Speaker 1: case sorry, Yeah, all right tomorrow on the OTP Road

909
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: to Nashville. What did coach Vrabel say? What did the

910
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: players say? We will have that for you as we

911
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: discuss it all with the great Jim White. Does Jacksonville

912
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: bounce back in twenty nineteen? A look at what the

913
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: Jags have done in the off season, which is pretty significant,

914
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,480
